Solution

The correct option is D Shifting cultivation

Explanation:

Shifting cultivation is a farming method that is followed in the humid tropics of Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. In the practice of “slash and burn”, farmers cut the native vegetation and burn it, then plant crops in the exposed, ash-fertilized soil generally for two or three seasons in succession. In India, it is named differently in various regions such as:

Dhavi In Odisha, Batra in South-Eastern Rajasthan, Podu in Andhra Pradesh, Kumari in Western Ghats of Kerala and Dahiyaar in Bundelkhand.
